gwynnega...and apparently I haven't posted here since last Henna Day. Yesterday I had about five inches cut from my hair, so Henna Day required about half as much henna as it did last month.
This weekend I've also been working on Jo book revisions, trying to finish up a prose poem, and reading The Fifth Child, which my friend Lyman loaned me. It's the first Doris Lessing I've read in awhile, and it reminds me that I've never read the Martha Quest series and would still like to.
Last night I watched The Heiress on TCM--an adaptation of Washington Square from 1949, with Olivia de Havilland, Montgomery Clift, and Sir Ralph Richardson. It was excellent, though I suspect Henry James rolled over in his grave at the way the end of the story was changed so that Catherine Sloper gets to have bravura revenge on Morris Townsend.

Hugs!
